Sat Nav Software?

[mugennoob]

What is the most reliable Sat Nav software for MDA Vario II? I have been looking at Garmin Mobile XT or Co-Pilot 7

Just wondered about any reccomendations?

Any comments would be much appreciated

people report various success with different software depending on where they are in the world for map covering and updates

fair point, well I'm in the UK so does anyone know the best ones for UK coverage?

Thanks

I'm in the UK and use Tom Tom on my Touch Diamond, it works really well. Have only just got myself a Hermes (£25) so have yet to try any sat nav software on, yet.....

I've used TomTom software on all the following devices with excellent results:

- SPV M500 (Magician)
- SPV M3100 (Hermes)
- HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
:)

IGO 7 works like charm on my hermes.

what version of Tom Tom is reccomended? I have Windows Mobile 6

Thanks

The Tomtom ripped from the tytn II is OK, Tomtom 7. You do need to purchase the maps though...

[mugennoob]

Can anyone confirm that TomTom 6 works on the Hermes?

or what is the best version to run and why?

Thanks

I can confirm both tomtom 6 & tomtom 7 both work fine on hermes.
For tomtom 7 you can get the more recent maps, but it requires more ram to run. When I was running a m2d rom I had tomtom 7 close randomly on me a few times. No problems if you have more than about 15MB ram free though.

I like Tomtom 7, have no problem running it on my Jasjam... As I said though, you need to purchase the maps. The best things in life don't always come for free...:p
